Your business data deserves maximum protection. Here's how we keep your XML files secure:

Local-First Processing

Unlike cloud-based converters that upload your files to remote servers, our tool processes everything directly in your web browser. Your XML data never leaves your device.

Zero Data Retention

We don't store, cache, or log any of your XML content. When you close the browser tab, all data is immediately cleared from memory.

PIPEDA Compliant

Our privacy-first approach exceeds Canadian privacy requirements—critical for financial and business documents.

Ideal for Sensitive Documents:

• Financial invoices and statements
• Configuration files with credentials
• Customer data exports
• API responses with PII

E-Invoice Viewing (UBL/ZUGFeRD)

Convert electronic invoices (Peppol, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD) to readable PDFs for review and archival.

Configuration Documentation

Transform server configs, application settings, and infrastructure definitions into printable documentation.

Data Export Reports

Convert XML data exports from databases and applications into formatted reports.

API Response Documentation

Create readable documentation from XML API responses for development reference.

Compliance & Archival

Archive XML records in PDF format for long-term storage and regulatory compliance.

Client-Friendly Sharing

Share XML data with non-technical stakeholders in an accessible PDF format.

Problem: XML parsing error

Solution: Ensure your XML file is well-formed (matching opening/closing tags). Use an XML validator if needed.

Problem: Special characters display incorrectly

Solution: Our tool supports UTF-8 encoding. If your file uses a different encoding, convert it to UTF-8 first.

Problem: The PDF is too long/complex

Solution: For very large XML files, consider extracting only the sections you need before converting.

Problem: Invoice fields aren't extracted properly

Solution: Ensure your e-invoice follows standard UBL or ZUGFeRD schema. Custom XML formats show raw structure instead.

Problem: The conversion seems slow

Solution: Very large XML files (10+ MB) may take longer. Close other browser tabs to free up memory.
